At Academia International School, learning goes far beyond the classroom. School life is about trying new things, growing together, and creating lasting memories. From clubs and sports to exhibitions and events – our students are actively involved in shaping their everyday school experience.

Our extracurricular activities reflect the interests and passions of our students. Whether creative, social, academic or athletic – there’s something for everyone.

Sport and physical activity are an integral part of school life at Academia.
In Basel, we offer Sport Sciences as an elective subject – combining theoretical knowledge with a wide range of practical sports activities, both on campus and throughout the city.

Other sports clubs such as football, yoga or basketball are organised based on student demand.

Please note: Our club and sports programme is shaped by our students and varies by year and location.

We regularly leave the classroom to make learning real and memorable. From Technorama to botanical gardens, from Novartis Campus to historical sites or ETH Museum – our trips are educational and fun.

We also organise:

These shared experiences foster community and curiosity.

We create opportunities for our students to share, present and celebrate their achievements:

• Graduation Ceremony / Prom Night for Year 12
• Winter Exhibition in Basel – showcasing cross-curricular student art
• Career and University Fairs – where students meet universities and colleges from Switzerland and abroad

The best part? Many of these events are co-created by our students – making each school year and each campus truly unique.

At Academia International School, school life is more than just lessons – it’s a shared journey. Welcome to a vibrant community that inspires, supports and empowers.
